Review summary

Not the the best cruise we’ve ever done. Ships are getting too big. Bathrooms terrible. Elevators way too small for a larger ship. Chose to do specialty restaurants instead of dining room which was not a great experience on the very first day. We chose to not return. All in all we had a good time. But would not do the Madi Gras again.

Italian restaurant. Terrible. Waited 2/hrs for food. Received it COLD. WALKED OUT Main dining room. Service absolutely terrible. Had to practically beg for a glass of water. It seemed like the water had absolutely no experience serving people. We never came back.

Service and Staff

Room steward. We chose morning. She would show up mid afternoon until we complained. Then late morning. Unexceptionable. Pay for a balcony room to use when we would like. Very slow.
